Bump - what's up?

Hungarian postal service fucked up delivery (as usual), so my top & fingerboard woods are on their way back to Espen @ Frankfurt...next move can be done after the post succeeded in doing their job properly and I got those pieces of wood.

Very nice piece of ash there.

That'sh what she shaid.

Szép lesz! Csak így tovább!

That ash is gonna look damn good when it's cleaned up. Looks great even with the general shape.

 

[Danukenator]

Wouldn't it really be better if it was a Dragonfly model instead of a Fly?

This thing looks stunning so far. Both the walnut and the ash are stunning.

EDIT: In case it isn't clear, the question was supposed to be a joke.
